THE FINAL COMMUNITY SERVISE SRLF-REFLECTION 

1-    ZHO: zayed higher organization , one of the important place in United Arab Emirates . This institution its about caring for disabled people. And how to teach them with a special way to help these people to be something in the future.

2-     It was wonderful for me to Communion with this group of people, I spent wonderful moments with them inside and outside the organization. However, Playing basketball was one of the best moments I spent it there. But the best part of the volunteering it was when we change the workshop and met a new student and a new instructor and learn new things of the different workshop. There are many and many wonderful time with these people, like when I see some of them outside the organization and he come to hug me , after that his father come and thanks me for my Gentle treatment with his son, its really a wonderful story a will never forget it.

3-    When I went to this organization I was don’t know any things about it , just what I want is helping  my community in any way, I chose this institution after discussing it with my friends, and I think we chose the right place. Because in this organization we help people who have a disabilities to be active member on this community. Which is teach them with active way and give them what they need to learn more about the life. Of course we have tried to integrate them into society to not feel like they're different or there are some  barrier between us.

4-    I learned a lot of things in this volunteering time , the most important things I learned is how can i contact with these people , and how can i teach them with easier way. I also learned that these people are able to do things creative and making things humiliating and they have the potential of Scalable. I'll take with me a lot of beautiful memories will never forget.

5-    Finally , I want to thank my teacher because he is advised me to go to this institution that teach me a lot of things, and my friends who helped me to overcome some difficulties, Of course I want to visit this institution again and I advise you to go and visit it soon.

To satisfy the needs of the participant; first we must Speak normally and directly to them. Not speaking to someone who is with them. The participants often have their own ways of doing things.

This project will help us as HCT students to improve our communicating and social skills, how to deal with people with different problems of all ages and will change our prospective of life so we can appreciate what we have.

8.   Any potential problems you see arising?

 Every program has small problems while starting and facing these issues is a must, we may face problems with communication and trust; what do they want and how can we help them or satisfy them according to their need, after introducing our self to them a talk to each other and letting them know that we are here for them. There for it’s a mater of time to get use to each other.

Mostly children, boys and girls, with some young teenagers but we don’t mix the children with the teenagers.
